Excellent service. They are thorough and caring mechanics. I got them (specifically Phil) as a…read morerecommendation from a trusted friend for some car woes. Not only did they take good care of me, they also let me know what might need to be done soon and what could be put off a little while. In my case, I needed a timing belt done on my Honda Civic. In the 2005 model, it's a good idea to get the water pump done and save on labor costs later and they also replaced instead of just inspected some of the internals where most places try to cut end costs to the customer there. In the end, their price was more than fair as compared to several other local options. Needless to say, I'll use their services again.

Mind you I called once a week just to check on my car and every week they said waiting on parts. On 3/4/2026, I went down there asked for my car, the guy behind the counter either hates his job or hates life or just straight racist, cause every thing i said to him annoyed him to the point he wouldn't even look away from the computer. , he says the parts are in and your cars next. He said it will be done Friday, Monday at the latest, On 3/5/2026 they move it from the front line of cars to the back of the building and it's been there with no work done at all. They refuse to work on my car, I have friends checking on my car for me and they see other cars come and go but mine ........ nothing. So I checked their reviews they have good reviews........
